Hi Deck

M4 is the diam. and the thread size (in metric), the 16mm is the over all length from the top of the head to the bottom of the screw...(on a flat counter sunk type metric screw )
==============

But in the states it would be called out like 8-32 x 5/8" in SAE sizes.
8 is the diam.32 is the threads per. in. and the 5/8" is the over all length.
